Hate Mail by Donna Marchetti is a pen pal romance and the story of Naomi and Luca.   Naomi and Luca have been pen-pals since middle school and their letters to each other were rather feisty and mean, but they never stopped writing to each other until they’re adults. I absolutely love writing letters and you can connect with a person on a whole other level and that’s what this story showed, and I adored it.   Naomi now lives in Miami, and she is a meteorologist and one day she receives another letter from Luca without a return address and she wants to write him back and reconnect. She is such a loving person and I also loved seeing her friendship with her co-worker Anne.   Luca has been through so much and I deeply felt for him. The letters were a lifeline for him, and I appreciated seeing how much they mean to him. He has a heart of gold and I especially loved seeing him with the animals throughout the story. Roland, Phoebe and Bruno were perfect little companions.   Naomi and Luca‘s relationship starts off with those hate to love letters and they slowly become friends and I liked seeing that through the past scenes. Their banter was everything and it feels like fate finally brought them together in the present. They truly belong together, and I rooted for them from the first page and devoured every chapter. If you like romcoms and stories à la To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before and Punk 57, you need to check this one out.   Overall, Hate Mail is the most sweet and heartfelt pen pal romance and I loved everything about Naomi and Luca’s story. 5 stars.   (ARC kindly provided in exchange for a review.)
